MODEL IN ADVANCES STEEL

[vuongbui.nuce]

hi, 

i start from revit to advance so i feel advance too difficult to modeling. my way is work in 2D WIREFRAME and rotate cube, then setup workplate to top for each face workplane and enable 2D snap .

In revit when you rotate cube you dont need setup any thing move copy,... is on the plane. in advance too easy to make wrong when copy or move (for me with my way)

can any suggest me the way to easy modeling in advance?

thanks you.

the viewcube is just for your view to the actual ucs. Advance Steel is based on AutoCAD and AutoCAD always work on the local XY area of the actual UCS. 
For your work it is needed to rotate and move the UCS to area you want to work. You could use the 2D snap for not having a differnece in Z by selectin snap points.

btw. I know many users are working like you, but I could not understand, why we use 3D modelling tools but model in 2D 😉 I'm always in 3D Isometric view

thank your replie Sebastian,

Can you show me how can you avoid error when copy or move when working with 3d Isometric  view,

Because i try that way but i have trouble when copy (or move) element move far away not exact i want.

try the advance copy command, you could the preview option which is helpfull. with this comman you could copy, mirror and so on

The commands for x,y,z filter will be also helpfull:

hi @Sebastian_Eiche.,

i find button in cad and i see we can dynamic ucs with cad with temp work plane, 

i try with advance and it dont work, do you know this way?

dynamic ucs is working with 3d solids, Advance is using 3D solids but as blocks (proxy elements), so the dynamic ucs is not working.
You need to move and rotate the UCS
